Quotes 

  • Ah Tabai : And what do you think of our Creed?

    Edward Kenway : It's hard to say. For if Nothing is true, then why believe anything? And if everything is permitted... why not chase every desire?

    Ah Tabai : Why indeed?

    Edward Kenway : It might be that this idea is only the beginning of Wisdom, and not its final form.

    Ah Tabai : That's quite a step up from the Edward I met here many years ago.

  • Edward Kenway : For years I've been rushing around, taking whatever I fancied, not giving a tinker's curse for those I hurt. Yet here I am... with riches and reputation, feeling no wiser than when I left home. Yet when I turn around, and look at the course I've run... there's not a man or woman that I love left standing beside me.

  • Edward Kenway : What the hell happened here?

    Adéwalé : You happened here, Edward. The damage you caused six years ago has not been undone.

    Edward Kenway : I'm not an easy man to call a friend, am I?

  • Mary Read : We're Assassins and we follow a creed, aye. But it does not command us to act or submit - only to be wise.

    Edward Kenway : Oh, do tell. I'd love to hear it.

    Mary Read : Nothing is true. Everything is permitted. This is the world's only certainty.

    Edward Kenway : Everything is permitted? I like the sound of that. Thinking what I like and acting how I please.

    Mary Read : You parrot the words, but you do not understand them.

  • Edward Kenway : Is this my reward for believing the best about men? For thinking that a bilge rat like you could muster up some fucking sense, once in a while? Maybe Hornigold was right. Maybe the world does need men of ambition to stop the likes of you from mucking it all up.

    Charles Vane : Or maybe you just don't have the stones to live with no regrets.

    Edward Kenway : Don't save me a spot in hell, shanker. I ain't coming soon.

  • Bartholomew Roberts : Ah... all Men desire to live by a Code, or a Creed, yes? Yet when pressed, most defer to their instincts rather than the Laws that bind them. But what is the appeal of a creed if it does not yoke all men to like behaviour?

    Edward Kenway : Might make a man feel like... he belongs to something. What's your answer?

    Bartholomew Roberts : Ah... that all Men are sheep. And that an old wolf like me deserves every ounce of blood he draws.

  • Edward Kenway : I'm not of the same mind, mate. But I won't begrudge you the state of yours.

  • Edward Kenway : Jesus! You've lost your head, man!

    Charles Vane : It's a fair exchange for finding these flintlocks and grenadoes!

    Edward Kenway : Listen Vane! We could hunt with those guns!

    Charles Vane : And I mean to! You and your bloody fairy stories got us into this mess, Kenway. And I'll be damned if I let you drag me into another!

  • [after the successful raid on Charles Towne] 

    Edward Kenway : We should quit these waters, Thatch. The governor is bound to muster more soldiers.

    Edward 'Blackbeard' Thatch : Nah, you go on ahead. I... I got some... business in the north.

    Edward Kenway : You're done, aren't you? Giving up on us? On Nassau?

    Edward 'Blackbeard' Thatch : Look, lad. I'm late into my fourth decade on this earth. And if I don't find some means to make the fifth a quiet and cozy voyage, I'd rather sink to the Devil's doorstep than call myself cap'n another year.

    [Edward doesn't answer] 

    Edward 'Blackbeard' Thatch : Ah, we'll meet again, lad. In this world... or the one below.

  • Charles Vane : I'll gut you, Jack Rackham! I'll open you up, I'll tear out your organs, and string a bloody lute with 'em!

    Edward Kenway : Stop your goddamn howling, Vane! There's no bloody use!

    Charles Vane : Well, well! The fearsome Edward Kenway speaks, eh? Pray tell us, captain, how to quit this predicament! And tell us what genius you have for sailing a boat with no sails and no rudder!

    Edward Kenway : SHUT YOUR GOB!

  • [Edward has just come back up from diving a shipwreck while looking for medicine] 

    Edward 'Blackbeard' Thatch : Ahoy! Any luck?

    Edward Kenway : I found one crate hidden beneath a school of sharks. Sadly, the elixir inside is...

    [he produces a bottle and pours out a foul green liquid] 

    Edward Kenway : ... quite spoilt.

    Edward 'Blackbeard' Thatch : Plague and perish! Will we steal medicines now?

    Edward Kenway : Remember the pardon, Thatch. We're to be subtle.

    Edward 'Blackbeard' Thatch : Says Hornigold, a pirate now too proud to call himself one!

    Edward Kenway : Ah, he prefers caution to cannons.

    Edward 'Blackbeard' Thatch : Caution's nothin' without charisma! For if a man plays the fool, then it's only fools he'll persuade. But appear to be the Devil... and all men will submit.

    Edward Kenway : And would you be the Devil?

    [Thatch dons a hat with smoldering matches tucked into it and smiles wolfishly] 

    Edward 'Blackbeard' Thatch : For an audience, aye. It's all a big show.

    [he turns to Bonnet, towering over him, his voice a fierce growl and his appearance terrifying] 

    Edward 'Blackbeard' Thatch : Give your quarry something to fear... some hellish thing from a fever dream... and men will drop to their knees, pleadin' for their Lord before aught else!

    Stede Bonnet : [cowering in terror]  Oh, God...

    Edward Kenway : [amused]  Looks fine.

    Edward 'Blackbeard' Thatch : [in a normal voice]  'Course it does. If you can find a quiet way to acquire medicines, tell me soon. Otherwise, I'll handle it meself.

  • Tavern Patron #1 : Fancy meetin' a Welshman deep in dago country. I'm English meself. Bidin' my time 'til the next war calls me to service.

    Edward Kenway : Lucky King George, havin' a pisspot like you flyin' his flag.

    Tavern Patron #1 : Oi! Skulk! I seen your face before! You's mates with them pirates down in Nassau!

    Edward Kenway : Shut your fucking gob or I'll fill it with shot, you hear me?

    Tavern Patron #1 : [laughing]  Edward, is it?

    [he pulls Edward's hood off, but Edward headbutts him and body-slams him through a table] 

    Tavern Patron #2 : You bastard!

    Edward Kenway : Hey, I warned him!

    [a huge fight breaks out]
